Testimonies

Over the coming months we are focusing on famous proclamations of faith in the Bible.  To match it we’d love to hear stories from you!

Does anyone have a story about when………

a) How you can rejoice in God even in very difficult circumstances – financial

b) You felt fear or shame and you knew God was with you in it

Our CofE Like

From 14th-20th August Emma will be in charge of the ‘Our CofE’ Twitter account- sharing a week in the life of our parish from the Curate’s perspective! This means she’ll be taking lots of photos throughout the week and sharing the range of different things we do as a parish. If you don’t want to be in any photos which go on social media, chat to Emma and she’ll make sure to avoid you!

Giving

There are many in our parish who regularly give to the church through a Direct Debit to our bank account. If you do – firstly thank you so much for your generosity! It would be a great help though if you transferred across to using the Parish Giving Scheme. As charity rules, tax claims etc become more complicated it is increasingly becoming a big task to claim back the 20% we can get on top of your gift. Joining the Parish Giving Scheme makes it all so much easier for us – and easier for you too! Please speak to Zarine if you want to know more about it – or click the links!

Fish and Chip Supper

Wednesday 9th August 2023 at Menston Wetherby Whaler 6pm for 6,30pm. The three course meal is £15,45. It is open to everybody. Christine Shinn is organising this and would like numbers.  You can contact her on 01274824003 or see her at St Barnabas on a Wednesday
